They will not fit......and it will bubble out and not look right IMO... I have a 10 inch wide rim with 285's and I know that I can go 295 or 305 and that's pushing it on the latter end of the width scale. JMO maybe tire rack can give some input

EDIT- says right on the website----fits a 10-11.5 inch wide rims

That is correct, they are too wide for those wheels. It will be potentially unsafe to mount those.
